Favorite Products For $1

10 / 11 / 1310 / 11 / 13

$1, I love the Dollar store! I love getting things for a dollar and I absolutly love good products that are just $1. These products aren’t cheap, they are just inexpensive! Today I thought I would share with you my favorite Products that are just $1! These work great and like i said they cost almost nothing!

Products: Lets start with Eyes….

Elf $1 Brightening eye palettes: Drama,Ivy, & Glam : These have great pigmentation, blend easy & last all day plus they have a fantastic variety of shades!

Elf $1 Natural Lashes: THese are great they are natural and well they are LASHES what more can I say.. These are a great alternative for someone who is experimenting with lashes because they are so inexpensive..

Wet N wild Color Icon Eye pencils: These pencils are creamy, soft, pigmented and I have never had a problem with them.. You do have to sharpen them put they look great in waterline or smudged on lower lash line : did I mention they have some fun colors!

Profusion Brightening eye palettes: I found these at Walgreens around the Holidays like christmasy time, I have shade 01 which is more of a bronzy palette & 06 which is a pinky palette. These are great eyeshadows plus they can also work as a bronzy cheeky color or pinky cheek color. you can also use them as a nice highlight if you just concentrate on the lighter colors. THese are great palettes they are soft, great pigmentation & I’m super excited to see them again this year! Keep an Eye out on your local Walgreens!

Now lets go to Cheeks!

Elf $1 Blush: The two colors I have are Tickled Pink & Glow.. Tickled Pink is a gorgeous pink with some sparkles here and there , Glow is an orangey bronzy pink with shimmer. Sort of a peachy tone.

I added in these cute cuffs from the dollar store they are slap on and a great accesorie for a halloween costume ( I used these ones for my catwoman halloween tutorial, check it out if you havent!)

Elf All Over Face Color: Pink Lemonade this is a great cream product that is multi purpose you can use it on cheeks lips or eyes! I actually used this as a blush on my wedding day its absolutely beautiful.
Elf Shimmering Facial Whips: Color Citrus & Golden Peach, This are also multi purpose they can be used for a blush, highlight , lipgloss ,eyeshadow or you can add them to your foundation for a blowy, dewy look! They have a great shade variety tot fit any need..

Next Are Lips…

Wet N Wild $1 Lipsticks: These are great they have a unique silver sheen to them and some have shimmer, but they are super gorgeous I actually wore the pink one Shade 502A in my products I regret buying video its a great pink/purple shade! The bronzy one is the shade 547 B Nyc Lipsticks : these ones are great too I have mousse which is a nude lipstick that is super creamy and has a bit of a shine finish , no shimmer at all..THen I have mahogany which is a deep vampy color that I used in my catwoman tutorial, Last this beautiful angel pink with a little bit of a frost finish called Petal perfect for winter time if paired up with a white sweater..

Elf Lipsticks $1 Essential line: THese are great lipsticks I i was really surprised by the quality my favorite one is Fearless which is a beautiful true red, this lipstick has a staining effect sos it is perfect for a date or night out! The other shades I i have are Nostalgic which is a nude & Coral They have some great shades to pick from and better yet they are only $1!

Elf Liquid lipstick & Lip glosses, : As you can tell I have lots of these , they both pretty much wear the same like a lipgloss, except the liquid lipsticks have more pigmentation, but with that said the lip glosses aren’t super sheer either they are creamy and soft not stick at all!

Last Nail Polish….

First off I have Wet N Wild WIld Shine Nailpolishes : These are so fantastic, the formula is smooth and pigmented You can get by with one coat thats how pigmented they are! The colors I have here are Blazed, Wild Card, Casting Call, Sunny Side Up..
Nabi Nail Polish: I got these for christmas , My brother Got these at a little mexican shop by where we live, Check you mexican shops for very Inexpensive nail polish, these are great quality. The colors I have are Velvet I,Metallic Green,Teal,Pure Pink, & Flamingo (which I wore on my product I regret Buying Video..)

Nyc Nail polish: Nyc has some great $1 Nail polish this one is the color Tudor City which is a great “fall” Teal color Then Elf Mango madness polish, When I bought this it was only $1 Dollar now I think these cost $2 But I still wanted to include it because It was $1 when I bought it, This shade is great but not all the polishes are but this shade has a great formula easy to work with and smooth….

So these are my favorite Products for $1 ! Hopefully this gave you some Ideas of super inexpensive (not cheap) Products!

Almost forgot!….My Makeup Look for Today!

I know my hair looks crazy! I have on a green shirt from wet seal & a beautiful headband that was made for me from a friend.. These are so simple to make ! So I decided to go with green eye makeup today…

I used the Wet N wild Comfort Zone Palette on my eyes I used the entire green side and Also The crease Color on the left side… Then I added this Wet N Wild Color Icon Eye Pencil on my lower lash line (Bronzed)….

For My Lips I used this Elf Matte Lip Color In the shade natural & Added a sinful colors Lipgloss in the color Goddess

For My cheeks I contoured using the elf warm bronzer and added the blush shade to my cheeks! THen I added this Shimmering Facial Whip in the color Citrus to the apples of my cheeks & As a highlight,,.

DIY Pumpkin Mason Jar Halloween Decoration

10 / 10 / 1310 / 10 / 13

Hey Ladies!

Happy halloween! I love decorating for halloween; but sometimes it can be expensive! They I realized how many mason jars I had lying around, I keep all my jam jars, spagetti sauce jars & wash them out and store them. Now here is a simple Halloween DIY to help you use up all those mason jars you have lying around! You can even Use Baby Food Jars to make Baby Pumpkins!

All You Need:

Mason Jars Or Baby food jars, jars of your choice
Paint (clack and orange for pumpkin, green for frankenstein.. You can do whatever you would like)
Glitter (If you so choose..)
Brushes
Newspaper (to paint on)
Foam stickers (You can get at your local $1 Store)
Fake candle or real candle…
Glue, Hot glue or krazy Glue (to glue candle to the bottom of jar)

1st: Soak your jar in hot water & soap for 5 min to remove any paper stickers (I know those can be a real pain to take off)

2nd: You can put some paint into you mason jar & Flip it upside down and let it drain

*If paints to thick add some water to help it run a lot faster, You only need a dime size drop of paint in there….

or you can just grab your brush and paint the inside yourself…

Its alot faster to paint the inside with a brush, but its your choice…

3rd: Set it out to dry

4th : You can paint the lids it all depends on the look you want..

5th: Paint the face on your pumpkin….(this is the fun part, get creative, you can do scary pumpkins or goofy ones like mine!)

Last: you want to either glue your candle to the bottom of mason Jar (or else it will fall out when you try to light it) or you can just add a fake candle

And Walla! Easy Halloween Decorations!

You can even get more creative & Create Witches, frankenstein & ghosts..

You can add stickers to the outside of your pumpkins or keep them plain its all up to you! On my Ghost I Added A ghost face in front and then ghost stickers in the back….You can use any glass jars you like, the Ghost is actually made with a recycled Snapple Bottle!

I love halloween because I love the crazy costumes & Decorations are so fun!! Hope You guys liked this EASY DIY… Whats your favorite halloween decoration? What do you do with your mason jars?

Hey Beautys!!

Its October!

I love Halloween and the crazy makeup looks that come along with it , but before we dive head first into october lets look at my makeup favorites for the Month of September!

NailPolish:

Nyc In a NewYork Min Nailpolish- Sidewalkers This color is such a beautiful side walk light grey
Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nailpolish- Grey Area This deep grey paired up with sidewalkers looks great together, I have been wearing both of these paired up together ever chance I got !

from Left To Right :Cranberry Crush,Honey Love,Candid Coral SideWalkers, Grey Area

Lips:

Jordana Twist Shine Balm Stains-Honey Love , I have three of these balm stains But I have mostly been wearing Honey Love which is a gorgeous Nude Purple toned Lip balm stain, I did a whole review on these already on my blog check it out! http://bondbeautyful.com/twist/

Eyes:

Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencil- PureGold Nyx Jumbo Pencils are the best bases to go under any eyeshadow this pure gold one is so pretty under bronzes, etc Have you tried any nyx jumbo pencils yet?
Pixi Lash Booster Mascara I got this mascara in an ipsy bag the skinny brush makes it super easy to use on the lower lashes
Smashbox Audition Taupe Palette This palette is great it has a eyebrow gel, and eyebrow powder,a cream highlighter, a cream eyeshadow and three neutral eyeshadows

Cheeks:

Elf Warm Bronzer I have been loving this as a bronzer but also a BLUSH! I swirl all the colors together to make a beautiful bronzy blush then I add just the blush color onto the apples of my cheeks , its truely BONDBEAUTYFUL
Nyx Cream Blush -HotPink This is another product I got in an Ipsy bag, This is such a pigmented blush in a cream form.. You have to be super careful because you only need the slightest amount on your brush , or fingers , a little goes a long way… If I find I applied to much blush then I dip my brush in my Rimmel Stay matte powder and I apply it over top to sheer out the hot pink craze and give me a beautiful flush on my cheeks
